/*
 * Anything: A flexible and easy to use data structure that combines the 
 * characteristics of a list and a hashmap into one data structure.
 * 
 * Based on a paper by Peter Sommerlad and Marcel Rueedi on 
 * 'Do-it-yourself reflection' entered at EuroPLOP 1998.
 * 
 * This library was written completely from scratch and is based only 
 * in spirit on the original Java Anything implementation written by 
 * Andre Weinand/Marcel Rueedi in 1997/99 and enhanced by Stefan Tramm 
 * in 2006.
